1t may not be known to some what
causes the different colors in bricks.
The red color of bricks is due to the
iron contained in the clay. In the
process of burning, the iron COM
pounds are changed from the ferrous
to the ferric condition and rendered
anhydorous, thus developing the color.
Certain clays-like those in the vicini-
| ty of Milwaukee aud Morris for in
stance-contain little or no iron, and
the bricks made from them are light
or cream cOlored.
In reply to n correspondent i'll re-
gard to planting grapes the Western
Rural says that he should plant next
Spring in any good, rich soil. Good
corn land is esteemed good land for
grapes. Tie grape is not difficult to
grow if hardy variety is selected,
such rs the Concord. The grape
shows great appreciation of bones, and
If bones are buried about the roots,
they will prove of the greatest bene-
fit. A root will find it's way to a
bone if one il anywhere near it. Con-
sldering the comparatively little care
that the grape vine requires, grape
culture should be more general than
1t is. The grape is d luciOus, health
full fruit, and upon the whole is easily
cultivated.
The library and reading room es-
established by the temperance society
of this town will be formally opened
next Monday evening at seven
o'clock, and will be open thereafter
after from seven to ten o'clock every
evening of the week. The managers
of the enterprise haye purchased q
fine selection of entertaining and in
structive books, and all the best pa.
pers and magazines Of the country
will be found on the tables of the
reading room. This is the first prac-
tical move made to provide place
for young men and others to pass
their time pleasantly outside of sa.
looms, and should be patronized and
; encouraged. The use of the reading
room Is free to all.
It Is strange, says the Western
Rural, how little attention is giver
to the cultivation of those garde I
crops that require very little care ant
yet that are so much appreciated
when brought upon the table. Spinach
